Red Haute Fringe

I've been quite obsessed with the color red lately. My Red Louis Vuitton Estrella Bag lit this fire and I've been buying red clothing like there's no tomorrow. It is kind of funny because I did the same thing with the color blue when I first got my Celine Mini Luggage bag in indigo blue. Don't worry, I'll be back to normal in a few months... or at least until I purchase a new bag!

The funny thing is that I'm not even carrying my Estrella Bag with this outfit. I instead opted to carry my new Louis Vuitton Pallas wallet like a handheld clutch. This scrumptious cherry red wallet was my anniversary present from my husband this year. It matches my new bag perfectly and was so thoughtful to me because the traditional 3 year wedding anniversary gift is "leather".

These fringe ankle strap heels caught my attention for a few reasons but if we are being totally honest here, I bought them because they are red! I must have purchased five pairs of red heels in the past month! If you don't believe me just wait until you see my future outfit posts littered with red heels.

This outfit to me is trendy yet classy. Fringe has made a major comeback this year and I predict it will be even more popular for the upcoming Fall/Winter. I have already caught myself eyeing a few fringed boots and booties! The other popular trend we see making it's way into this ensemble is the crop top and pencil skirt combo. This trend is very streamlined, sexy and fun. You can see it on just about every celebrity in Hollywood from Kim Kardashian to Beyoncé, Jennifer Lawrence, Crissy Teigan, Rihanna and more!

Little Lace Dress

Backless dresses are one of my favorite summertime staples. They keep you cool in the summer sun and offer an added touch of sex appeal to an otherwise sweet and typical look. If you feel comfortable and daring enough you can rock a backless dress bra-free or opt for a sticky bra from Target like I do. Sticky bras and pasties are great because they can make you feel more secure and protected in such a revealing outfit.

It was important for me to keep this look more on the casual side. The backless dress already showed quite a bit of skin and I didn't want the look to become too sexy or overdone for the daytime. I dressed down my white lace backless dress with a pair of chunky blue booties paired with a matching blue floppy hat and my indigo blue Celine Mini Luggage Bag.

My Celine bag is still one of my favorite designer purchases to date. I carry this purse all the time and it matches with way more than I could have ever imagined. It has the neutrality of blue jeans but offers a playful pop of color when paired with other neutrals.

Sometimes in the summer heat it becomes hard to find a balance between wanting to wear as little clothing as possible and wanting to be presentable. I think that this backless lace dress is a great option for such occasions. The loose and flowy fabric breathes while exposing just enough skin to be sexy yet still maintain a level of class.
